Name: Ashley
Year: Freshman
Major: Medical Imaging
What made you choose to attend Bloomsburg University?
It was far enough away from her hometown and was one of the few schools that offered a Bachelor's degree in her major. When she toured the campus she thought everyone was friendly and felt like she belonged here.
What made you choose your major?
A lot of her family is in the medical imaging profession so she has been exposed to it throughout her life.
Why did you decide to attend college?
It was expected of her and she didn't really have a choice.
What made you join a club team?
Since she played sports in high school she felt she needed to continue to play in college.
What makes club sports different from varsity sports?
Varsity gets more funding from the university since club sports are mostly student run. Varsity sports are more intense and require more commitment.
Would you ever want to join a varsity sport?
She actually wanted to join one when she came here so, yes.
Does being in a club sport add stress to your schedule?
Not at all. She actually finds it to be her stress reliever for the day and looks forward to going to practices.
What benefits have you gained from joining a club team?
It helps her stay in shape and keep a mental balance between school work and play. She has met people through the team that have become good friends of hers.
For my topic, I am comparing the similarities and differences between club sports and university varsity sports. I interviewed two girls on a club team and concluded that they both seemed to join so they could continue playing sports throughout college. They both agree varsity sports require more commitment and are more intense. They both would consider joining a varsity team, but wanted to see how their workload would be first, so maybe they will try out next year. They both agree being on a club team helps to keep them in shape and helps them meet new friends.
